Former Bobcat Signs with Schaumburg Boomers

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. – Former Georgia College pitcher Matt LaMothe (2012-13) recently inked a deal with the Schaumburg Boomers of the Independent Frontier League.

He made his first pro appearance Aug. 15 against Rockford, throwing four scoreless innings of relief and fanning a pair.
